We are leaning toward ARIZONA!....3 more days to make our final decision...I'm sad we won't be by our fam in IOWA, but we gotta do what feels right for us. Hopefully I'll have a new picture to post soon of my belly, but I don't know if I've grown any noticeable amount in the last week :) So I may not post one. Our appt went well though. She is right on track. Unfortunately (and fortunately), she is head down so we didn't get a good still picture of her this time. Oh well! I feel so overwhelmed at times thinking about how much stuff a baby needs and how we are seriously lacking the space right now for any sort of nursery to fit in our apartment. We need to get rid of some things and rearrange our office/storage room to accomodate her! Part of me feels like I need to get it all set up ASAP. But the other side of me thinks there is no need for a perfect nursery since we'll be moving to (wherever we go!) just a couple of weeks after her birth. Decisions, Decisions! Needless to say, we are a ways away from being ready for her arrival so we hope she stays put until JUNE! Baby shower plans are in the making. You'll likely get an invite in a couple of weeks. My sisters are hosting one on April 30th from 11am-1pm (this is the one I'll be inviting my friends to!) so tenatively put it on your calendars :) ...and my sisters-in-law are hosting one May 21st. I'm hoping I'll be a bit closer to feeling PREPARED after both of these :) Wish us luck for the days and months ahead. I know I'll need it!

You'll get SO much stuff at your showers, you'll have PLENTY of things to take care of your sweet baby. So don't stress, just focus on taking care of her right now while she's in your belly. Really all a baby needs to first few weeks are diapers, wipes, burp cloth, bottle (if you're planning on bottle feeding her) and a place for her to sleep. Other than that, she wont need too much because you probably wont take her out right away (so a diaper bag can come later.) AND... I'm sure you know this... but you get SOOO much stuff from the hospital too. (TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT!!) Take all the things they offer you! Ask for extra diapers and wipes too. Then you'll be set for a few weeks. Anyway, sorry this is so long. Just don't stress out. Everything will be ok.
